Latest Oak & Eden Whiskey Is Wheat Focused, Honey Spire Influenced

Oak & Eden out of Texas focuses upon whiskeys it finishes in-bottle by inserting specialized 5-inch spiral-cut piece of oak into. Expression types vary somewhat across their line, and now the latest is a wheated bourbon with a honey-soaked toasted American Oak spire.

The new Oak & Eden Wheat & Honey, according to those behind it, blends the brand’s permanent wheated bourbon with a honey-soaked toasted American Oak spire. This givens a bit of sweetening to the final product, resulting in a whiskey lending itself as a go-to for cocktails.

“Every Oak & Eden release reflects our pursuit in customizing the experience of whiskey in unique ways — not just with the products we create, but also with how they are designed to be used,” said Co-Founder and CMO, Brad Neathery, in a prepared statement. “We intentionally crafted Wheat & Honey to pair beautifully with a broad range of refreshing cocktails – cocktails that most people would never assume are whiskey based. ”

As part of the brand’s Infused Series, Oak & Eden Wheat & Honey is pricing around $60, with plans for it to continue to roll out in select Oak & Eden retailers across 30 states in the coming months. More technical specifics on it can be found below.

• Whiskey: Wheated Bourbon – Wheat & Honey begins with a remarkably smooth combination of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley. Once distilled, the bourbon is aged in new American Oak barrels producing a rich, deep yet sweet spirit.
• Wood: American Oak – Containing hundreds of naturally occurring botanicals, Oak & Eden uses a 5” American Oak spire in Wheat & Honey, which produces a rich, velvety whiskey full of caramel, butterscotch, and allspice notes.
• Fire: Medium Toast – Before placing the spire into the wheated bourbon, it is exposed to fire, technically a Medium Toast, toasting the wood to the perfect degree that will produce a finish that is deep and rich with subtle notes of candied fruit, vanilla, toffee, and caramel.
• Infusion: American Honey – Each spire is infused with American Honey before being placed in the bottle for that naturally sweet finish.
• Tasting notes: Honey, Marshmallow & Candied Fruit
